ASF vs. regular rats F/T

[Meerna]

I'm switching my BPs to f/t but I wanted to get opinions on African soft furs vs. regular rats, since I have the option to buy both. the ASF are actually cheaper as well. Any recommendations on which I should get?

Whatever works, before you get a lot of them make sure your snake will actually eat them, my snakes never cared for them.

I only plan to get a 10 pack to start out with, to see if they take to them.

i breed my own rats and feed mainly normal rats tho I now have asf as I have a asf eater that will take nothing else, so you have to get what ever your snakes will eat maybe one or the other or both

If they are cheaper I'd say go for it. It's a good idea to get both just in case, but usually most snakes will prefer ASF since that's their natural prey in the wild. I'm actually surprised they are cheaper since they take a lot more time to get to size. I'm actually going to feed off most of mine and just keep a small tank, was going to get rid of them but I decided to keep a few just in case I pick up an ASF only snake.
